A few reference sites to help people.

Here are a few links to sites on the web that I and many others get a bit of knowledge off, I take no responsibility for any advice given but i've found a lot of it useful - use it at your own risk, please feel free to add to or ammend anything you see - mods if this is in the wrong section then you know what you have to do.

Thanks Ricky roo for starting the thread and the great links, also thanks everybody else for the other links. I am hoping to send my 79 late bay for respray in next 6 weeks and then starts the real work!

for those with a type 4 engine, if you're after an off the shelf oil filter halfords HOF202 is the one for you, i did a bit of cross referencing and just fitted one on my van, loos exactly the same as the mann one i had on and the meyle one before that, handy to know on a bank holiday.
